General description

2-N-Morpholinoethyl methacrylate (MEMA) is a methacrylate monomer featuring a morpholino group that enhances its reactivity and solubility in various solvents. Its hydrophilicity, attributed to the tertiary amine in the morpholino structure, makes MEMA suitable for numerous applications in polymer chemistry. It can undergo various polymerization techniques, including radical and anionic polymerization. MEMA is particularly valuable in biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, medical adhesives, dental composites, tissue engineering, and controlled drug release. It is utilized in the development of biocompatible materials, polymer matrices, hydrogels, and scaffolds. Beyond biomedical uses, MEMA finds applications in coatings, electronics, optical materials, and the textile industry.

Application

2-N-Morpholinoethyl methacrylate can be used as:
  • A monomer for synthesizing pH-responsive amphiphilic polymers. These polymers are particularly useful in controlled release drug delivery systems due to their ability to respond to changes in pH, which is a critical factor in various physiological environments.
  • A crosslinking agent during the synthesis of the hydrogel nanocomposites. This crosslinking is vital for improving the mechanical stability and structural integrity of the hydrogels.
  • A monomer for the synthesis of thermoresponsive polymers, which are used for the applications in smart coatings and responsive drug delivery systems.
